24V Motorized Driven Roller Conveyors are an excellent choice when energy efficiency, quiet operation and ease of maintenance are primary considerations. Motorized Driven Roller (MDR) conveyors feature run-on-demand zones. Since it only runs when required to advance product, energy consumption and overall noise are reduced and the functional life of the conveyor is extended. It is quiet, safe, requires little-to-no maintenance, and offers high-speed and non-contact zero pressure accumulation.
MDR conveyors are found handling variety of products, including: bags, batteries, glass, tires and consumable goods and parcels. They are a perfect solution for manufacturing and food & beverage operations. By using one or more motorized rollers per zone, a motorized roller conveyor enables “zero pressure accumulation” (ZPA) movement of parts on the conveyor. In a zero pressure accumulation situation, parts continue moving along the MDR conveyor until they get close to (but do not touch) the product unit in front. Therefore, there are no gaps in the assembly line.
The MDR conveyor system has its own built in logic cards which automatically manage turning each zone on and off. This reduces programming and commissioning time. MDR uses networking technology via an Ethernet connection, which offers simple installation, greater flexibility over conveyor controls, enhanced diagnostics, and remote visibility of the entire system.
Level conveyor, inclines, declines, curves and sweeps can all accumulate product without bumping, getting side-by-side, skewing or jamming. Intermixed products, such as totes, slave pallets and cartons can be handled simultaneously, even with extreme weight differences between products. MDR has an extremely quiet OSHA-approved sound level. Because MDR is run-on-demand, no sound is generated when zones are in accumulation mode, or when no product is present.
Features:
- Run-on-demand technology turns conveyor off when not in use
- 24V DC brushless motor encased in roller eliminates sprockets and gears
- Ethernet connectivity
- Conductive urethane insert isolates carrying roller to reduce noise and wear
Benefits:
- Safe, Quiet & Energy Efficient
- 24 VDC Operation Modular Design for Easy Configuration & Minimal Maintenance
- Consumes 30% less energy on average over 460 Volt 3 phase system
- Improves safety for employees working near conveyor
- Insight and visibility into the "health" of each MDR prevents unscheduled downtime
- Require minimal maintenance; quick and easy repairs
